28th December 2012 Full Moon in Cancer

Hi everyone!
 
 
The rainbow’s shining, even if you don’t feel you’ve reached the pot of gold! We’re in transit!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What’s happening:
We’re still in the light of the change process, with ongoing light downloads, until the end of December and very probably until January 13th. Just a reminder of Lauren Gorgo’s last message on the 13th chakra and body makeover happening until that date.
 
However, we need to trust the lightness of life being restored to us, even as we’re still feeling the density being released.
The ‘makevover’ of our carbon to crystalline bodies is an ongoing process. Just imagine we’re in ‘convalescence’ from many lifetimes of carrying density. I like to imagine my convalescence is being spent in the comfort of all that I need for my spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being...even if at times I fall back into any ‘old’ energies of despair, regret, disappointment, fear etc.
 
 
Convalescence doesn’t have to be painful: I’m reminded of the episode in ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ when Pats and Eddy set up in the hospital for Eddy’s ‘facelift’. The smoking, the champagne flowing and demanding their ‘issue’ of drugs as entitlement, regardless of the nurse’s protestations about them not needing the drugs broke all the conventions, turned the hospital into a luxury hotel experience.
 
 
Remember, it’s not just about you. We are helping all those ‘lost souls’, rejected aspects of ourselves, past lives/alternate realities, separated ancestral and planetary energies...into the light. Keep trusting that this is happening and you are making progress.
 
 

 

 
How’s your pilot light: All we have to do is ‘hold the light’ and every time we drop the torch of enlightenment, remember to pick it up and reignite our own pilot light. We need to maintain awareness, focus, dedication, commitment and devotion to ‘our dream’ of a fulfilled and happy life, a peaceful and more evolved earth. 
 
 
What’s been happening:
Up or down...all the same, it’s happening: On the 21st you may have felt a huge uplift in the heart...or not! You may have felt a huge surge of energy bringing up mental, emotional, spiritual energies in the physical, emotional, mental and/or astral bodies which may have been uncomfortable. You never know where the unresolved memories/energies/lost souls hang out!!!
 
Integration/download: From 21st, we were experiencing an integration/downloading energy which may have been a little challenging with body temperatures, heat, head ‘stuff’ happening. Of course, it’s not just these areas which are being impacted as we each have a personal stamp/insignia of physical processing/healing. With Saturn in Scorpio, anything is possible as Scorpio’s potent healing power is drawing out the toxic residue of karmic wounds and burdens.
 
So what’s changed????: The 21st marked ‘a beginning’ when we stepped off what has been called ‘the rainbow bridge’ into the beginning of new ways of living. Maybe it seemed like nothing much changed on the physical. We will only recognise that changes have occurred when something happens which would once have challenged us and now has no impact on us. You might take time to look at how your reactions/responses have changed/are changing seemingly without effort. These changes are subtle because we’re working on the ‘unseen’ energies, the hidden layers of the psyche, the conditioning, the emotions/memories, the astral/spiritual.
 
 
Notice the changes...what brings you joy, what you have reclaimed that you thought you’d ‘lost’, what new interests and desires are being aroused in you, as well as what has come to a close etc. We are integrating new energies in our emotional, mental, etheric, astral bodies.
 
The physical changes will emerge once we take ownership of our new beings.
 



 
What’s coming in: waking up, flushing out toxic emotions with the flow of divine love and uplifting vision!
 
 
We’re already in the fullness of emotion that comes with the Full Moon in a couple of days. Everything that needs flushing out of the system, is likely to be flushed out this week! So much watery emotional energy, working with the physical energies of the earthy Capricorn Sun, its ruler Saturn now activating intensity in Scorpio and Pluto stirring the pot in Capricorn!
 
This week we’re at the mercy of the water allowing ourselves to be taken where we’re called to go, not necessarily where we think we’re going! You know the old saying ‘no expectation, no disappointment’. However, we are expecting change for the better. We just don’t know how it’s all going to play out for us, our place in the world and on the wider world stage.
 
Bottom line:
Definitely ‘go with the flow’, nurture yourself, open the heart with music, song, dance, painting, good movies...doing what you love, being in a state of self-love, surrender and comfort. ‘Fluid’ forms of relaxation are perfect...swim and sing with the dolphins, surf the waves, float on your back...if you’re in Summer.
 
For Winter dwellers...in the bath, on a boat, skiing, sledding, viewing the water, art, swimming animals. And if the water is frozen, have a mulled wine and a good cry with a heart-opening movie. I recommend the classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ with James Stewart and Donna Reed which I watched again this week. It will make you think about your life direction and what’s driving you, what truly matters to you.
 
 
26th December:
Mars moved into Aquarius at 11.49 am AEDT until 2nd February 2013...fired up with courage to reach for the stars!
 
‘Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars’. The fiery adventurous energy of Mars lifts off in the sign of rebellion, radical solutions and freedom! This is a great energy to have working with us during the month of January when the Capricorn Sun is urging us to take steps to build and ground our vision...even if we’re not clear on the details.
 
Mars in Aquarius:   
We’ve got the ‘Get out of Jail’ card on the Monopoly board!
We’re likely to feel fired to take action on outstanding ties and shackles which have been holding us back from growth. Mars gives us the courage to act on our inspirations and higher guidance. We’re shooting for the moon!!! This energy is really going to help us move through any emotional Full Moon issues that may arise, particularly relating to emotional and/or physical securities...money issues included here too. When you feel a bit wobbly think of this astronaut ‘shooting for the moon’!
 
 
 
28th December: Full Moon in Cancer at 9.21 pm AEDT at 7 degrees 06 Cancer..the divine mother opens her heart to us!
At this full moon we have the feminine moon in her fullness in Cancer, facing off in opposition to the masculine energy of the Capricorn sun. The Cancer Full Moon is larger than life as the Moon is the ruler of Cancer so the energy of the moon at this time seems enhanced and expanded.
 
 
 
 
All emotion: The moon rules the emotions, the unconscious, memories...our inner lives. When the moon comes to fullness, these often untapped, held in emotions and/or memories seem to explode out of us with blinding realisations and what can feel like irrational manifestations. I am not suggesting negativity here, although as we all know, when ‘the shadow’ emerges from us, we can feel emotions we’d rather not feel, emotions buried in past times. We can feel like ‘lunatics’ as though some kind of wild madness has gripped us.
 
 
 
The Full Moon offers a natural release from emotions which have held us hostage to some past reality, recreating past scenarios of pain, suffering, fear and limitation. The movie ‘Groundhog Day’ where the main character gets ‘stuck’ in a time warp of one day, living it over and over again until he changes his attitudes and behaviours which give him the key to freedom.
 
 
 
Culmination and completion:   
From the Full Moon to the New Moon in Capricorn 12th January!
This is what happens at the full moon...something culminates, comes to a head, completes. This ‘completion’ may come from the last New Moon which was in Sagittarius two weeks ago. Then again, it may relate to the broader energies of Cancer, something related to ‘mother’, the childhood, home (present and/or past), emotional security/insecurity, loving nurturance, ‘belonging’/place of belonging. This is not a negative/positive experience, just a freeing up of energy that has been withheld, contained, bottled up etc. With Pluto opposing the Full Moon, we can expect a BIG release of buried energies.
 
Whatever ‘completes’, the full import of what it is will be playing out over the next weeks until the New Moon in Capricorn on 12th.
 
 
The Full Moon can provide the opportunity to gain incredible insight into knowledge that has eluded us:  
...what nurtures our ‘authority’, our strengths!
 
It opens us up to the world of emotions, something which is so often avoided in our mentally polarised world of rational, logical thinking and behaviour. We are humans and our emotional world is a part of us, the part of us that takes us into artistic expression of our unique individuality, our unique perspective, our unique truth. The emotions are a creative powerhouse which give passion and meaning to our existence. 
 
 
Cancer Crab protects itself from harm:   
The moon in Cancer is home of the divine mother energy and offers us nurturance and the self-love that comes from our inner mothering energy if we are preparing to nurture, love and accept ourselves, ‘warts and all’. However, it can also bring up emotions around our own mother, our mothering and/or our inner child. This is a good time to take care of the inner child’s insecurities, fears and doubts. Cancer energy can bring up emotional insecurities around feeling safe and protected.
 
 
 
 
Cancer rules ‘home’, whether childhood or now and/or patterns associated with home. Nurture yourself and ‘family’ at this time.
 
 
Capricorn Sun opposing the Full Moon energy: Balance the physical needs with the emotional needs
Capricorn energy is concerned with physical security and calls us to lay down the foundations and structures in the material world which will support our physical well being. This includes all aspects of the physical...money, work, shelter and physical body. The Sun is highlighting this area of our lives.
 
 
 
The Cancerian opposing energy calls the Capricorn Sun to balance by helping us to consider emotional well being. One without the other becomes an unbalanced life. We can a roof over our head, but we need to feel good about where we live, to feel peaceful and content.
 
 
 
 
 
Taking our authority: However, the underlying message of Capricorn is tapping into the feeling of respect for ourselves, the call to step up and take our authority in our particular area of expertise. This is very much the focus at this Full Moon as the Finger of God with Saturn/Pluto and Jupiter uplifting us to a higher vision.
 
 
Pluto adding weight to the Sun and opposing the Full Moon: Death to the energies of ‘the old order’, the old paradigm!
 
Pluto will be almost on the same degree as the Sun in Capricorn, facing off to the Full Moon in Cancer. Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, rules death and transformation and digs deeply to purify energies which need purification.
 
 
Pluto will call us into drawing out of the darkness those deeply buried issues around our physical security, bringing up issues around emotional security. Be prepared to go to the depths to find the gremlins and release them from their underground cavern.
 
 
‘Finger of God’ is strongly activated at the Full Moon...uplift to the divine truth and wisdom of Jupiter in Gemini!
Saturn and Pluto are at the base of this formation in a positive interaction supporting our changes for restructuring and transformation. Pluto’s got support from the Capricorn Sun lending weight and authority to his transformational force. We will purge and some parts of us will perish!
 
 
 
Jupiter’s calling us to lift our minds into the highest expression of ourselves we can be. Elevation of thoughts to the expression of our truth and wisdom is calling us. If you feel the urge to express your heartfelt truth, don’t hold back.
 
 
 
 
Grand Water Trine at the Full Moon:   
We’re being called to come home to ourselves emotionally! 
 
Feel and release!
 
 
 
 
 
Full Moon in Cancer: comfort and nurturing releases the emotional insecurities, feel safe with yourself
 
Neptune/Chiron together in Pisces: Deep emotional healing of the collective unconscious wounds frees us up
 
Saturn in Scorpio: Karmic release and transformation of old structures and energies
 
 
All the water signs are in play and supporting each other to help us feel the flow of life, the flow of our emotional selves, calling ourselves home to the depth of our emotions. There’s nothing we need to do except remain loving and kind to ourselves, family and others. It’s all flowing for us.
 
 
If you haven’t seen ‘The Secret of Roan Innish’, this is a good time to do so. It’s all about the mythology of the seal and coming ‘home’ to your soul. It’s time to ‘come home’ to yourself, your soul, your place in the world.
 
 
 
The book ‘Women who Run with the Wolves’ tells the same story in the chapter ‘Sealskin, Soulskin’ about coming home to ourselves, to our soul.
 
 
It’s for us all...women and men.
 
 
There is one story above all others in the gorgeous, multi-layered book Women Who Run With the Wolves which sings to my heart. Sealskin, Soulskin is the story of a selkie who lives on land in her human form for almost 8 years due to the theft of her sealskin. Her skin is ultimately restored to her, and she returns to her seal form and takes once again to the waves.
 
The story itself is incredibly beautiful and it haunts me in ways like no other. However, it’s not just the story which I return to; it’s also Dr Estes’ interpretation.
 
She reminds us that this is a story of what happens when we become separated from our soulskin, our true home. She empathises with us over the depletion of our resources, our difficulty in stating our own need to return to self. She calls us to turn homewards.
 
 
Physical healing and emotional healing at this Full Moon:
Digestion: Be aware of the digestive system at this time as it holds so much emotional energy. With Pluto opposite the Full Moon, a purge is quite likely. Cancer energy is often impacted in the digestive system.
 
Of course Saturn in Scorpio, long term, means bones, teeth, knees and joints, spleen are areas ruled by Saturn and now have the potential ‘snake healing’ energy of Scorpio. Pluto(ruler of Scorpio) in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) reaffirms the focus on the body and its purification.
 
 
 
At this time we have so many planets and astrological signs being tied in with the Full Moon energy and the Finger of God, that any ‘portal’ of release from the body/bodies depends on your own personal astrological energy. This is always the case, but it seems particularly relevant at this time.
 
 
Insecure and hidden gremlins will be released!: This is one thing we can count on with the Cancer/Capricorn opposition at the Full Moon. Anything hiding ‘under a rock’ with Pluto will be uncovered and released by the light of the Capricorn Sun and the Cancerian Full Moon.
 
 
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon in Cancer: from Linda Hill at the following website:
 
 
 
Linda has a more detailed study of the Sabian Symbols at this Full Moon covering Sabian Symbols all the planets at this time. Below is just the first few lines.
 
 
 
The Moon: Cancer 8: A Group Of Rabbits Dressed In Clothes.
A Group of Rabbits Dressed in Clothes can picture people who may be trying to be more, or act like they are more, or different, than they really are. The fact that they are ‘On Dignified Parade’ means that they are working to put on a good show and to stand up for themselves. Our outer garments and demeanor act to both show and disguise who we truly are and what we are really feel about ourselves. It’s difficult to completely disguise the attempt, but the effort of trying to advance themselves may be appreciated and rewarded with people taking them more seriously. The 'Rabbits' are still 'Rabbits' after all.
 
 
 
 
The Sun: Capricorn 7: Birds In The House Singing Happily.
 
This degree implies the ability, or the need, to spread joy, happiness and laughter to those around you. It also shows that music can lighten people’s spirits. Further, thinking positive thoughts and being loving and accepting of others are the hallmarks of this degree. Listening to the songs of birds can be rather magical and can bring spiritual messages to you.
 
 
 
 
1st January: Mercury moves into Capricorn...messages of how you can practise your own brand of physical manifestation!
 
What a great time for Mercury to move into Capricorn! The beginning of 2013, when many of us make resolutions requiring change for the better. Then, more often than not, within a few days, weeks months, we fall back on old habits. We ask ourselves why we can’t ‘stick to it’, the new life. Just being a new year can give impetus to change. However, sometimes the astrological energies are not supportive of follow through.
 
 
 
Making the resolution and sticking to it! Well, with this energy, we’re likely to find we can make the resolution and keep the commitment to ourselves. We’re being powered to take our authority and here I’m talking about moral authority, authority over the disempowering aspects of character that have held us back. Fear and doubt about your capabilities, strengths, capacities will be dismissed from your repertoire. You don’t have to have all the answers yet...they’re coming!
 
 
Be open to ideas: Mercury is joining Mars and the Sun in this materially oriented sign. Mercury will be flying in with positive, solutions for practical application. Messages from Mercury will be flowing in with guidance on how to bring ‘our’ heaven to earth, providing we keep an open mind. Remember, Mercury offers a multitude of possibilities, so fret not if ideas fly in and out of the brain with breathless speed. They’re taking us somewhere better, so let one idea lead to another and keep going. We’re building the ideas and the picture. The New Moon in Capricorn on 12th will be the time to plant the new seed.
 
 
 
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
9th January: Venus moves into Capricorn
12th January: New Moon in Capricorn
 
 
 
Happy New Year! Here comes 2013!!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
As always, love and blessings to my fellow travellers ‘on the road’! 
We’re actually ‘on the water’ this week...sailing along!

21st December Sun moves into Capricorm and Solstice


Hi everyone!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Where are we:
We’re getting ready to step off the rainbow bridge of light, into greater unity and divine love!
 
However, for many of us we’re feeling the intensification of resistant energies ‘fighting’ the light download...possibly old warrior energy and/or old morality that has no resonance with natural law!
 
 
Examples...old belief systems around justice, punishment, blame, shame, guilt, suffering, redemption.
What about the work ethic??? How hard do we drive ourselves? How much is our inner child crying out to be heard?
 
Without doubt, the energies are shifting and sometimes the child calls out to allay fears and anxiety of the process we’re in. Nurturing and play, song and dance...whatever lightens you up, that is, lightens your inner child.
 
 
 
What’s been happening:
We’ve been travelling on what has been called ‘the rainbow bridge’ of light since 12:12:12. The ignition of light energy on that day kick-started us with a flood of divine light and love, fuelled for the 9 day journey to the end of the rainbow.
 
 
 
The pain or stress tells us the light is shifting the ‘darkness’: If you didn’t feel the flooding lightness and joy at that time or since, trust that your focus and dedication is bringing it through. Yes, there will be ongoing openings of stargates and light energies washing us like the waves of the ocean. The 12:12:12 was a big one like a surge of energy uplifting us in heart and mind.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Purging and realignment: The increased light downloads initiated on the 12th have continued as our bodies, minds and hearts are purged, realigned, reconfigured so we can receive the great gifts being offered by the universe. The light downloads are set to continue at least until 21st December. That doesn’t mean it has to be continuing discomfort...but it may be.
 
Nobody knows because each one of us has a ‘brief’ to clear or ‘hold’ particular energy for us personally as well as collectively. Lost souls trapped/locked into the astral plane may well be seeking the light through you...but many of them don’t believe in the power of the light, in any belief about ‘after’ life and most of all, belief in their own entitlement to redemption, to love. It doesn’t matter how you think of an after life/the other side of the veil, the energetic source of life. Differences in belief have been the cause of so much conflict on this earth. We can all commit to the power of love. That’s what it’s all about.
 
 
We just need to know that discomfort comes from resistant energies needing release to the energetic source of life. The release comes through truth and love and the divine light of higher consciousness...keep breathing everyone...no, we’re not dying...just bits of us!
 
 
Physically: You may have been feeling intensity of pressure, like you’re being squeezed...as if ‘through the eye of the needle’. Have you had the feeling of the head going through reconfiguring of the brain and neural pathways? This experience has been around for quite a while but seems to have intensified the past few months with the Scorpio energy. Heavy heads, headaches, sinuses can be a symptom of this as well as work on the pineal and pituitary glands.
 
The nervous system is being healed from old belief systems, ingrained patterns which have kept us contained in old ways of being. The presence of Jupiter in Gemini has been challenging us to lift our thinking from the ordinary to the extraordinary world of divine enlightenment.
 
Temperature fluctuations: The fluctuating hot and cold body temperatures may well be impacting you as it flushes out the toxins of the past history.
 
 
 
What’s coming in:
From 17th to end of December: Finger of God with Saturn and Pluto at base and Jupiter in Gemini as the focus for resolution...intense pressure!
 
Losing control/letting go of control and predictability: You may have felt an intensification of pressure when this aspect kicked in overnight (AEDT) on 17th/18th. It may have felt as if everything was going haywire. Hopefully, this intensity may lessen as we get closer to 21st. We just don’t know. Depends on our karmic commitment and personal pathway.
 
Mental confusion: At the same time, Mercury in Sagittarius opposed/challenged Jupiter in Gemini...challenges around communication...could have felt like a Mercury retrograde energy. Again, everything going haywire. That aspect will be moving off in next 24 hours.
 
 
 
The duality of the Gemini mind is being unified through the enlightened divine wisdom of Jupiter:
The bottom line...restructure, transformation of the earthy physical and watery emotional energies, working together to bring about change through the channel of Jupiter, challenging the Gemini mind to unify through the light of divine wisdom.
The emotional and physical bodies are being reworked and we’re being called to ‘hold’ to the higher mind which gives clarity, insight and focus. Keep bringing light into the head when you’re feeling ‘scrambled’. Also, the sword of truth which takes us on our path of destiny.
 
 
Remember, the soul planet for Gemini is Venus, the Gemini focus being the unification of our masculine and feminine energies so that our Gemini mind energy becomes just like these two lovebirds. Twin flames and soul mate energies are within reach once we connect to that wise mind.
 
 
We’re unifying the duality of the mind: Gemini calls us to unify the ‘split’ mind of duality, bringing the masculine/feminine energies into a partnership of equity, balance and harmony. Keep focussed on ‘higher’ thinking. Keep the sword of truth handy to cut free of karmic ties, lost souls in the astral plane and cell memory. Need to keep on track. 
 
 
Raising our mental consciousness into wisdom, truth and justice: This is the Jupiter in Gemini energy which is aligning our everyday ‘muggle’ self with the divine mind. Both Gemini and Jupiter are energies of communication.
 
 
Gemini is an air/mind energy which makes connections quickly, but can get caught in the everyday chatter of the social media network.
Jupiter is looking for an expansion of consciousness, of the mind. Jupiter urges us to seek the truth, our truth and wisdom, our wisdom
 
 
Alleviating pressure: Focusing on the higher mind of Jupiter in Gemini will alleviate the ‘vice’ like syndrome of the yod.
 
 
Look up, stay positive and optimistic like Jupiter.
 
 
 
Lifting our game...trusting, acceptance and surrender to the flow: Let go of the steering wheel!
This Yod is really calling us to get our act together spiritually. I don’t know about anyone else, but it seems at the moment that any ‘plans’ made are destined to be changed, often at the last minute. We just have to let go of the steering wheel of ego, the illusion that our ‘muggle’ self is in control.
 
 
 
Our higher self, soul is in charge of our plans! Just keep handing over any problems to your higher self, divine mind, the masters, angels, ancestors...whoever you call on. Archangel Michael will help you cut free from the resistance.
 
The angelic presence seems strong at this time. This is a nice angel site I found recently which I like: http://www.frederike.eu/DrawCards.html
 
 
 
 
21st December: Sun moves into Capricorn at 10.12 pm AEDT...getting grounded, getting real...what’s that!!!???
 
 
Capricorn is the energy of commitment, discipline and putting in the hard yards. Sounds daunting doesn’t it! If you’ve been caught up in the workaholic ‘grind’ of addictive work ethic that’s dominated so much of this planet for so long, you may well have to take a breath and re-envision the ‘new world’ Capricorn energy!
 
 
Some years ago, one of my friends, a Capricorn, said she had joined a ‘Workaholics Anonymous’ group to help her with her addiction to work. I congratulated her on taking action and asked ‘How are you going with it?’ to which she replied ‘Well we haven’t had a meeting yet...we’re all too busy to get a meeting date.’!
 
 
Take your authority, be who you are without excuses: The Capricorn energy is where we can find our authority in the material world, where we find our respect, reputation and honour for a job well done. Yes, it is about acclaim from others, but more importantly and significantly, it’s about feeling our own inner glow when we just KNOW we’ve done well. AND...recognising our own strengths, abilities and backing ourselves all the way.
 
Mastering the earthly manifestation:   
Make up your mind, make the commitment and keep walking forward!
How do we bring our ‘spiritual’ heaven to earth? How do we manifest our hopes and dreams on the earthly dimension?
Capricorn energy is a master of manifestation on the physical plane. All earth energies have this capacity. However, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn which asks us to be committed to our path and to put in the work required to get there. Capricorn stays on track and will not be diverted from belief in self and the pathway forward.
 
 
 
 
Be confident and proceed with respect for yourself and your journey: Capricorn’s symbol is the goat, an animal who is sure footed and can negotiate mountains of immense height and narrow pathways. It proceeds confidently on pathways which would daunt so many animals. It is made for the heights!
 
 
 
 
‘Climb every Mountain’...one of the great songs from ‘The Sound of Music’!
‘I have confidence’...another great song from ‘The Sound of Music’.
If you’ve got a problem with musicals...sorry...but I bet you’ve got a song to help you!
 
 
Saturn is the builder: Be like the beaver...who deconstructs the trees to reconstruct a home!
 
Start building the dream, fired up by the Sagittarian New Moon fire of idealism from last week, the Capricorn Sun is coming in to support us in bringing those Sagittarian ideals to earth. Are you ready to believe in the dream? Are you ready to start seeing the physical creation of that dream you’ve been building in your head and heart?
 
Saturn likes structure, but now it’s in Scorpio which is all about pruning the dead wood out of your life, so the deconstruction/reconstruction is all on! Commit to being a ruthless renovator!
 
Think of the current trend in food presentation...wonder how they’d do a deconstructed Christmas pudding!!!??
 
Well, that’s what we’re doing...thinking up novel ways of ripping everything apart and putting it back together in a whole new form. Saturn will help us.
 
Limitations?: Saturn helps us work within limitations...in fact, uses limitation to take us on our path of authority! Roadways helps us keep the car focused on direction. Doesn’t mean we can’t fly in our minds and hearts...but come back to work with what’s available to you and go from there.
 
Don’t forget the inner child under the influence of Saturn who can become like Scrooge: Remember to laugh and play.
The following video clip of some ‘kids’ should delight your inner child and remind you that Capricorn CAN play if it remembers the inner child ‘kid’!
 
 
Christmas Goats: a short video clip which has kept me laughing

Remember the old adage ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ 
 
 
 
21st December: Summer Solstice in Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice in Northern Hemisphere!
 
Picture of temple at Karnak on solstice
 
 
 
The solstice: The movement of the Sun into Capricorn marks the December solstice, regarded as a magical time when we are reminded that we are earthlings who are being called to be in tune with the earth and the cosmos, the change of seasons, the marking of significant turning points through the year.
 
For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the longest day/shortest night of the year. From this day on, those in the Southern Hemisphere will find the days starting to shorten as we move towards the June Solstice.
 
For the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day/longest night of the year. From this day, the Northern Hemisphere dwellers will find the days starting to get longer as we move towards the June Solstice.
 
 
In what Stephanie Azaria calls ‘the new astrology’, the December solstice is regarded as the beginning of the astrological year, so essentially an astrological beginning for 2013. Of course we still have January 1st 2013 to celebrate. We straddle different worlds and inhabit both. I love all the ‘beginnings’ astrology offers us during the year. It’s like starting a new page, new chapter each time.
 
 
 
‘We are the world...we are the children’...remember to play! 
 
Solstice means “sun stands still,” as both around the winter and summer solstices, the sun appears to stay steady, changing little in its incremental journey through the sky for around 3 days, before beginning either to move visibly to the north or to the south.
Traditionally, a day celebrated by those who revered the earth and her cycles of change. A day sacred to our ancestors when the world seemed stilled by the Sun’s apparent stillness. Celebrated and enjoy with kindred spirits whether in the physical or spiritual dimensions. Solitude provides a great opportunity to connect with those in other dimensions for an inter-dimensional party!
 
 
This is a day to honour the Earth and her connection to the Sun which gives us light and warmth and light. The ancients understood the power and importance of the Sun to the extent that it was honoured as a God, whether Apollo, Ra or Sol. Many cultures around the world maintained the practise of honouring and welcoming the Sun. Ancient structures around the world have evidenced the alignment with the rising sun at solstice.
If nothing else today, we can give thanks to the source of our energy and life force and be in gratitude for being alive on earth at this time. I know most of you know all this, but I still felt the need to put these words down. I just don’t know who reads my updates.
 
 
 
21st December:
Emerging from the rainbow bridge after the last nine days of activation and realignment in the new consciousness
We’ve been experiencing light downloads for the last 9 days as we’ve maintained our focus on light and more light!
It’s an intense journey as we accelerate our growth in consciousness. We’re emerging from this rainbow vortex!
It’s not a deadline, but feels like one! Are we going to fall ‘dead’ across the finishing line???? 
 
 
Every time I’ve said to myself these past days/weeks/months:
‘I WON’T be left behind in the paddock whilst all the other brumbies are heading for the hills!’ I can feel my mind, body and spirit redoubling my commitment to the power of the light and opening myself to the power of love...again!
 
 
Hang on! There is no finishing line...but a new chapter. We are in the circle of life and life goes on.
 
 
None of us truly know what’s going to happen. We are a living experiment. That’s of course how I see life. We just don’t know how far we can go with consciousness until we fully align with divine love and truth. The planets are helping us. The cosmos is helping us. We just have to keep helping ourselves.
 
 
 
Venus to the rescue:   
Venus, ruler of the heart is calling us to open up to love and allow ourselves to receive and transform through love.
 
 
 
 
18th/19th Venus trines/positively connects with Uranus: Wake up my heart and hear the call to love
 
20th/21st Venus squares/challenges Chiron: Let go of the wounds to the heart, both personal and collective
 
22nd/23rd Venus opposes/challenges Jupiter: Expand heart and mind energy in the power of love...unite the opposition through balance.
 
‘Join the dots’ between heart and mind!
 
 
 
 
Quite a long interview with AAM, but worth reading if you have questions about 21.12.12. 
A brief extract is below:
 
AAM: But I love to tease you. There is an influx of supreme energy that will light and ignite your planet during this period. Now, it began on 12/12 and it is growing. So what you are saying is, “Will we get the full fireworks display on December 21st, 2012?” And I say, yes, there will be fireworks, and they will continue through the rest of the year. This is a-building.
 
Now, for some of you it is immediate because you have done all your work, all your preparations, and you have grounded deep in the heart of One and deep in the heart of Gaia.
For others, it will be more like an awakening and thinking, “Oh, my gosh, everything has changed! I’d better start adjusting.” So it will be more of a slower process rather than a snap, which we have referred to many, many times, again, through the end of the year, as you begin the new.

So are you asking, on this day, are the energies there and sent to Earth for everyone to awaken? And I say, yes. Now, I am telling you, do not focus on a time. Focus on a day. But for some of you, it will be more slow because of where you are emotionally, spiritually, physically. For some of you it will be rapid

28th December, Full Moon in Cancer: Coming up next week!
In a weeks’ time from the solstice, the 28th December, we have a full moon in Cancer, sign of the divine mother, the nurturing essence that brings us home to ourselves, to our place of belonging. What better way to end this momentous year of change and consciousness shift! More on that after Christmas!
 
 
 
That’s all for now folks...happy travelling!
Happy Christmas to all those who celebrate Christmas...peace and goodwill to everyone! As Tiny Tim said ‘God bless us everyone'!
 
 
I’m really happy because this is the first time I’ve felt like Christmas since my mother died a few years ago. Christmas was her day, except it lasted from about September when she started the planning and preparation. I feel sure that plenty of you know what I’m talking about with your own history and your own celebrations. Sincerity and heartfelt joy. My mother’s ‘church’ and religion was in the kitchen and at the table. That’s how she nurtured, even though she was eminently proud of her Scottish Presbyterian heritage. Spirituality is a broad canvas!
 
 
 
However you celebrate this time, whether Christmas or not, the message of Christmas to me is ‘Peace and Love’, so I send it to you all!
 
 
 
 
As always, love and blessings for this joyous time of renewal and the magic of change...
